THE RE:STARTACADEMY
The Restart Academy Podcast: Your Safe Space for the Real Conversations About Divorce Recovery
This podcast is for divorced women who are rebuilding their lives after devastating divorces. If you've been searching for a place where you can finally have the real conversations - the controversial ones, the embarrassing questions, the messy truths about what it's actually like to heal and rebuild after your marriage ends - you've found your safe space.
Hosted by Temi Samuel, a wellness coach who went through her own devastating divorce over a decade ago, The Restart Academy Podcast tackles the topics others won't touch. This isn't your typical "everything happens for a reason" divorce advice. This is honest, unfiltered truth about what divorce recovery actually looks like.
What makes this podcast different: We don't do toxic positivity or surface-level advice. We dive deep into the controversial conversations - why you might feel relief after divorce, why "taking the high road" is often toxic advice, why some women never fully recover, and all those thoughts you've had but felt too ashamed to say out loud.
Perfect for divorced women who:
- Feel isolated in their divorce experience and crave real conversation
- Are tired of advice that doesn't address what they actually went through
- Need permission to feel ALL their emotions without judgment
- Want practical guidance from someone who truly understands their journey
- Are ready to stop just surviving and start thriving in their restart
Whether you're newly divorced, years into healing, or somewhere in between, Temi creates a judgment-free zone where you can drop the mask and process your real experience. Each episode gives you permission to be human, to have complex feelings, and to prioritize your own healing journey.

SLEEPING ALONE AFTER YEARS OF MARRIAGE - HOW TO COPE
Nobody warns you about this part of divorce.
That first night in your new place. Or that first night after he moves out. The silence. The empty bed. The cold sheets on the other side.
Sleeping alone after years — maybe decades — of sharing a bed with someone.
And if you're going through this right now, I want you to know: You're not crazy for struggling with this. You're not weak. You're not pathetic. You're human.
In this episode, you'll discover:
✨ Why sleeping alone is so hard — the biological, emotional, and psychological reasons your body is struggling
✨ The emotions you might feel (loneliness, grief, relief, fear, anger) — and why they're all completely normal
✨ What NOT to do when you're struggling — including the temptations that will set your healing back
✨ 10 practical coping strategies — from creating a new bedtime routine to making your bed a sanctuary
✨ Scripture for sleepless nights — what God says about your loneliness and fear
✨ When it gets easier — my personal story of going from dreading bedtime to actually loving sleeping alone
This episode is for you if:
- You dread going to bed at night
- The empty bed makes you cry
- You feel crushing loneliness when it's quiet
- You're worried you'll never be okay sleeping alone
- You're tempted to text your ex or rush into a new relationship just to fill the void
What you'll walk away with:
Practical strategies you can start using tonight to make sleeping alone more bearable. You'll understand why this is so hard, what's normal to feel, and most importantly — that this won't last forever. It gets easier. I promise.
